RegisteredAddress.co.uk opinions please

I've read testimonials on the website and also checked out company records for the company I am also aware that adamchy is an active member in this forum so from a self trumpet-blowing point of view I am happy with the picture that's being panted of this company/service.

I am however having a tough time finding UNBIASED reviews or opinions about the service prompting this thread.

I'd love to hear from people that are/have actually used it. Is it a reliable service? Would you recommend it?

Well firstly i'd avoid those companies who are not transparent, that don't tell you what the virtual office address actually is. They hide part of it and give you a nonsense excuse as to why that is. There is no reason to avoid disclosure of what someone is being expected to pay for up front.

Secondly, make sure they are registered with the ICO for data protection and registered with HMRC for MLR. Both are a legal requirement.

Thirdly, make sure they are not merely re-sellers of the service.

Fourth, consider postage costs. Do the maths and work out what in reality, this would really cost you. Look at what you have to ask that they don't explain/cover on their website, application form or T&C. So the first 20 letters are included for say £15. Great. But what then? Small print might say £1 per letter after that. So what if 5 come in one week? 5 every week?

Some of these companies make their money from their hidden or small print. You only get stung when you go over the quota you saw initially advertised. There is quite often a mark up in the mailing costs for envelopes, handling, packaging, etc. so you pay a higher fee, and not just the cost of the stamp. Tot up all the possible costs across a 12 month period.

Regarding mail coming through, to be fair mail can't really get lost once it arrives at the virtual office address. Royal Mail have more chance of losing it on it's way to the virtual office premises, and again when it's posted on to you. That's where missing mail goes..... into the Royal Mail ether! However, we rarely encounter missing mail. Often it can be down to human error of the client not using/giving out the full correct virtual office address, or the people/organisations they give it to, do not enter the full correct address into their data systems.

You're unlikely to find online reviews because people do not want to expose that they are using a virtual office address, so that's your number 1 reason, and secondly, there won't be enough volume of users to warrant people going online to give reviews.

But as I said, most business (on here as well) won't want to reveal their office address is in fact a virtual office address. The whole point for many is that they want people to believe they are really based there.

I just signed up with them after evaluating that they are one of the cheapest. But it's always the same - you get what you pay for - and in the end it will come out very costly.
Their website / your account cannot do anything online and every request you send in is associated with at least GBP of 12.-
Also adding all service up to a full package others are at the same price level with much better service.

Guys what kind of experiences did you all have when registering your address? I am in the process of setting up with Your City Office < www.yourcityoffice.com > and the experience is testing my patience. Their KYC on-boarding process is a major pain in the ass.

How did you perform your identity etc and did you need to get all your documents certified before submitting?
